  • 8-channel ultra-high-performance, true-diversity receivers in a ½ rack size (8.0” x 6.6” x 1.6”).
  • Expandable to 12 or 16 channels via Astral ARX16 4-Channel Expansion License. Licenses are $2500 USD, or $250 USD for a 7-day rental, or $850 USD for a 30-day rental.
  • 169 MHz – 1525 MHz tuning range via SpectraBand Technology.
  • NexLink: an advanced long-distance modulation that allows for remote control of wireless transmitters from the receiver.
  • Dante audio-over-IP of RF receiver audio.
  • Flexible powering: via PoE+, DC input, 8-Series, or AC mains (with optional adapter).
  • Web App control from browser on any computer, smartphone or tablet.
  • Full remote operation capability: Power via PoE, audio via Dante, control via Web App.
  • Dual DB-25 connectors for 16 channels of mic, line, or AES outputs
  • Convert 16 channels of Dante to analog and/or AES on DB25 connectors, for sending IFB, voice-of-god, and more from mixer to set.
  • Wide, 6.2” color OLED array with touch for control and monitoring.
  • Integrated Real Time Spectrum Analyzer (RTSA) and scanning for intuitive frequency coordination.
  • Optical Fiber Network option via SFP slot. SFP accepts a wide variety of modular network transceivers.
  • Astral-QuickDock allows docking and undocking in seconds from 8-Series mixer-recorders with no tools.
  • The AutoAssign function automatically scans the current tuning band for clean frequencies and assigns them to multiple channels. The clean frequencies are automatically pushed to NexLinked transmitters.  
  • Modular design: RF section (Astral ARX16) can be disconnected and remoted from 8-Series, as opposed to less-flexible integrated RF/Mixer/Recorder solutions.
  • All NexLink control is handled by Astral ARX16 and/or its Web App instead of the 8-Series for maximum flexibility.
  • Full remote power-down: Astral TX, HH, and Mini transmitters can be fully powered down via NexLink for excellent battery life. This alleviates the need for remote auto-RF-Power adjustment schemes. User is in full control of RF power settings.
  • Supports GainForward Architecture: No gain setting on the Astral transmitters. Adjust gain at the receiver or mixer.
  • 100% digital long-range modulation delivers the longest transmission distance of any system on the market. 
  • Excellent audio quality, full 10 Hz – 20 kHz audio bandwidth.
  • RF SAW filters for excellent rejection of interference from nearby IFB or camera hop transmitters.
  • BNC timecode input for auto timecode sync of transmitters over NexLink.
  • On-the-fly audio output routing changes directly from the Astral HH and Astral TX. Ideal for talkback, guitar tuning etc.  
  • Wireless transmitter pairing to Astral receivers in addition to pairing via USB cable 
  • Ad-hoc handoff of transmitters’ NexLink control between Astral receivers; ideal for large reality shows 
  • Astral ARX16 digital audio outputs increased (Dante) to 32 channels 
  • Flexible tone routing matrix. 

SpectraBand


SpectraBand technology delivers a tuning range of 169 – 1525 MHz in a single unit – an industry first! Experience ultimate flexibility as you find open spectrum away from the crowded UHF TV band.


SpectraBand 기술은 하나의 장비에서 169–1525MHz의 튜닝 범위를 제공합니다. 이는 업계 최초의 기술입니다.

혼잡한 UHF TV 대역을 벗어나 사용 가능한 빈 스펙트럼을 찾을 수 있어, 궁극의 유연성을 경험할 수 있습니다.




NexLink


With NexLink’s advanced long distance protocol, you can control your Astral Mini and Astral TX transmitters using the built-in long range remote control link. 


NexLink의 고급 장거리 프로토콜을 통해, 내장된 장거리 원격 제어 링크로 Astral Mini 및 Astral TX 송신기를 제어할 수 있습니다.


Network away


You’ve got options. Use the built-in web server with any computer, tablet, or phone to control the Astral ARX16 wherever your ethernet cable can take you. Power the receiver from a distance using Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) and remotely deliver audio via Dante. The possibilities are boundless.


다양한 선택지가 준비되어 있습니다.

내장 웹 서버를 사용하면 컴퓨터, 태블릿, 휴대폰 등 어떤 기기에서든 이더넷 케이블이 닿는 곳이라면 어디서나 Astral ARX16을 제어할 수 있습니다.

Power-over-Ethernet(PoE)을 통해 먼 거리에서도 리시버에 전원을 공급할 수 있으며, Dante를 통해 오디오를 원격으로 전송할 수 있습니다.

가능성은 무한합니다.

GainForward


With the Astral transmitters’ GainForward Architecture, easily set the gain, low-cut, and limiter directly on your Astral ARX16 or mixer-recorder. This immediate, local control of gain means never having to adjust the gain on the transmitter again. 


Astral 송신기의 GainForward 아키텍처를 통해, Astral ARX16 또는 믹서-레코더에서 게인, 로우컷, 리미터를 손쉽게 직접 설정할 수 있습니다.

이처럼 게인을 즉시 로컬에서 제어할 수 있기 때문에, 다시는 송신기에서 게인을 조정할 필요가 없습니다.

AutoAssign


Assigning frequencies to wireless transmitters used to take forever. Not with the Astral ARX16 true diversity wireless receiver’s AutoAssign function. It automatically scans the current tuning band for clean frequencies and assigns them to multiple channels. The clean frequencies are then automatically pushed to transmitters linked to the NexLink protocol.


무선 송신기에 주파수를 할당하는 작업은 예전에는 매우 오래 걸리는 일이었습니다.

하지만 Astral ARX16 트루 다이버시티 무선 리시버의 AutoAssign 기능을 사용하면 다릅니다. AutoAssign은 현재 튜닝 대역을 자동으로 스캔하여 깨끗한 주파수를 찾고, 이를 여러 채널에 할당합니다.

그렇게 확보된 깨끗한 주파수는 NexLink 프로토콜로 연결된 송신기들에게 자동으로 전송됩니다.
